Police officers injured in high speed pursuit

Two police officers have been injured, one seriously, in a crash during the pursuit of a stolen car in the Perth suburb of Ascot.

The police car and a truck collided on Great Eastern Highway this morning.

Both officers have been taken to Royal Perth Hospital.

One is being treated for serious arm injuries and the other has minor injuries.

Other police vehicles continued the pursuit into Welshpool and a short time later, police found the abandoned vehicle crashed into a fence.

Police say two men and a women were arrested in a taxi near Radium Street.

They all are being questioned by Cannington detectives.

A witness, Katherine Chapman says both officers appeared to be seriously injured.

"So I quickly rang an ambulance and said you've got to get out here, a police car's been hit," she said.

"I said one guy's hurt his arm pretty badly, and then I ran across the road to make sure he was all right.

"There was lots of blood, they were trying to move his arm so they could stop the bleeding because it was bleeding fairly profusely and you know he was in a state of shock and he was yelling when they tried to move his arm.
